It’s the recency that bothers me the most. These aren’t veterans from “some distant time” where we’re merely trying to better understand history through the lens these people provided in their private effects, mostly donated by private individuals or museums.

These are people who still have young children today, people who’s widows may still be grieving. Now their parent’s or partner’s VA history is up for display, for people to use for whatever means they want? That doesn’t make sense to me.

Not GP, but no, these aren’t long dead people, but recently departed veterans with way too much information being disclosed than should be given the timeline.
